Shure SRH440 Studio Headphones

Holy smokes, what a splendid and affordable headphone! Shure has done a very high quality job of blending terrific performance with reasonable cost in the SRH440 model. Suitable for either portable or home use, the well-defined bass response, properly extended highs and balanced midranges give the 440 full musical body and strong acoustic substance at a surprisingly great price. Shure hasn't skimped on comfortable ergonomics with well-padded headband cushions, easy foldability for storage/transit plus a coiled cord to prevent messy mobile listening tangles. Killer deal for truly impressive headphones.

What We Think: Shure's foray into the world of high-performance headphones is proving to be a raging success and has expanded to incorporate great cans in nearly all categories and prices. The extremely well-priced Shure SRH440 headphones have a mid-sized circumaural construction with full-size sealed earcups designed to deliver excellent isolation in mobile listening or recording studio use. The proprietary Shure-engineered 40mm drivers deliver focused audio reproduction across the entire frequency range with a clean, articulate, and well-balanced musical presentation that neither leans too far forward nor is overly warm or 'laid-back' sounding. This nicely even-toned but still highly dynamic sonic signature well-serves listeners of all stripes seeking top sealed headphone audio performance without climbing up the steep & rocky side of the 'diminishing audio returns' curve. At this great price, the Shure SRH440 provides an assured fabulous return on your headphone investment.

The all-black Shure SRH440 headphones have a 9.5ft detachable coiled cord and a hinged collapsible construction for ease of transit or travel. The user-removable cord terminates to a 1/8' [3.5mm] gold-plated mini jack; a screw-on 1/4' full-size stereo plug adapter is handily included in the package. The large sealed-back earcups are padded in a soft leather-type material that remains comfortable for long listening sessions and withstands heavy-duty usage. The round earpad cushions will typically completely encircle the earlobes on most wearers. As another plus, the clamping force of the headband is not overly pressurized on the head while still delivering good isolation specs, a fair rarity in the closed 'monitoring headphone' category. A Shure soft-sided headphone travel pouch is also thoughtfully provided.
